Col. Scott's compilation OF the war records
turns out to be in a much more advanced
state than has been generally supposed.
The entire work OF examining the great
mass OF records for such material as the
design OF the work embraces has been com
pleted, and nothing remains but to arrange
these papers into volumes. The mum Der
OF volumes OF complex work will be fifty or
sixty. Several of these will be divided in
to two or three parts, SO that the total
number OF volumes will propably be about
eighty.

An extraordinary scene took place at
the weekly meeting of the Congregational
| minist ters of Chicago. Mr.. Beecher's ILL
ness was referred to and resolutions OF
coincidence introduced. which it was pro-
posed to send to Mrs. Beecher by telegraph.
This was opposed by a number of the min
isters, their opposition being based on the
alleged heterodoxy of Mr.. Beechers's views
regarding future salvation and punish
ment. An acrimonious debate ensued and
finally the motionto adopt the resolutions
was lost. Great excitement prevailed.

NICE FARM BUTTER.
Three Things Which Must be Practiced
to Secure a Good Article.

Three Things Which Must be Practiced
to Secure Good Article.
There has been much comment of
late as to the question of profit in but
ter-making on the farm. With the av-
erage butter-makers, as a rule. the
profits are meagre, and the quality of
the product is only such as to diminish,
rather than increase, the demand for
this article. Intelligent study and
mastery of the principles (and methods
following correct principles). is the
most necessary duty of those who
would pursue this industry with profit
But the mastery of principles
and methods is not sufficient.
Integrity, pride of reputation, and am
bition to excel in the work should be
the ruling purpose with all manufact-
urers, small and great The slovenly
manufacturer and his butter ~ should
have the most complete ostracism.
Neatness deserves the most cordial
recognition.
Three things, too, are to be practiced,
besides the mere process of the work.
1. Winter dairying mast become the
rule with the general farmer, and the
cows must have as diligent attention,
with this object in view, as the grow
ing or harvesting of the grain.
2. The cows should be fed with pur-
pose an intelligent one) to cause their
milk to furnish the largest quantity of
butter. This embodies also the best
of care in furnishing pure water to
drink and shelter from wind and storm.
3. The same enterprise is appropriate
in the dairy appliances that is usual in
other branches of the farm work In
addition to the material improvements.
such as churns, refrigerators. cabinets,
etc, the men need, in some eases, more
application of muscle to the work in
all its departments, especially where
one woman does the housework for a
husband and three or four hired men.
1t is no trifiing part of the work to
take the butter to market in very at
tractive. neat packages. An inviting
is half of its value. Nd

A PROFITABLE CROP.
How to Make Horse Radish Culture Re
sonably Successful.

How to Make Horse Radish Culture Rea-
sOnably Successful.
In order to obtain satisfactory crop
of horse-radish, it is absolutely neces-
sary that it should be grown IN very
deep loamy soil and one that has been
deeply and thoroughly cultivated for a
previous crop. This soil should be Civ
en- liberal dressing of well-decayed
manure. and it should be as deeply and
thoroughly Incorporated with the soil
as possible by means of first the plow,
and then harrow so as to level it of
as nicely as possible; it should then be
marked off into rows about two feet
apart. In these rows the sets are to be
planted some sixteen inches
apart, which should be done as
early as the ground can be properly
prepared in the spring. The planting
is performed by making a hole from
five to seven inches in depth, with a
long stick or crowbar; into this hole
the set is dropped in such manner
that the top is about two inches under
the surface, at thesame time pressing in
enough earth to fill up the hole. AS
soon as the crop is up so that the rows
can be distinguished a light hoeing
should be given, after which keep the
crop clean and free from weeds until
the middle of November, when the
crop can be taken up and stored for
winter use. After the crop is dug all
of the small roots should be broken off
and reserved for another seasons
planting. The large or main roots
should be packed in boxes, filed with
sand and stored in coel cellar.
If the ground has been properly pre-
pared the main root should be eight or
ten inches in length and weigh about
half pound.
The rootlets should be cut into
pieces. or sets, about four or five inches
in length, the top end being square and
the bo tom end slanting SO that there
will be no danger of setting the root
upside down in planting. They should
be buried in the ground out-of-doors
until wanted for planting in the spring.
l notice that some persons always in
sist on planting the crowns or tops of
the main roots instead of the reotIets or
sets.
l believe this all wrong and would
not advise any one to do this; it not
only destroys the most valuable part of
the root, but the crowns prodEce a
mass Of rootlets only, and those are
only fit to use as sets for another years
planting. -l
The entire crop should be dug out in
the fall and on no account should it be
left for another season; if this is done
the main root will become partially
hollow and assume such a woody text
ure as to render it unfit for use.-Chns.

BOARDING AN ICEBERG.
A Task of Much Greater Peril Than o.
Would at First Imagine.

Task of Much Greater Peril Than One
Would at First Imagine.
The task of successfully boarding an
iceberg with picks and bars is no easy
one 1t is almost as exciting as the
pursuit of whale, and is often full of
danger to the unwary. 1t is the testi-
mony of those who have experience in
this business that you can not judge an
iceberg as simple men frequently at
tempt to Judge horse-by mere out
ward appearances. The berg you are
approaching may tower up ma
jestically, with glistening round
ed summit like the dome on
the Capitol at Washington, or
it may rear splendid. picturesque
spires, like those of cathedral, or be
turreted like the castle at Windsor. Its
vast proportions and architectural
beauty may give it in your eyes an ap-
pearance of enormous stability, while
in truth its foundations are rickety and
unstable.
There is no way of telling what an
apparently sedate iceberg may indulge
in at any moment. Its submerged
base may be a gigantic mass balancing
the exposed portion of the berg as
firmly upright as a house built upon a
rock, or it may be the most veritable
fraud and makeshift of foundation.
Icebergs rising hundreds of feet in
the air, with brilliant scintillasing
turrets and spires have been known to
tOpple over without moments warn.
ing. Unlike the forest trees and other
works of lofty nature on the land,
decay in the iceberg begins, not at the
top, but at the root, the warmer
temperature of the water melting it at
its base. Moreover, the iceberg seldom
presents an easily accessible side to
those who would board it, the task OF
boarding berg being very much in
the nature of scaling "a perpendicular
wall of glass, with constant and inn
mediate danger of a slide into the sea.
The occupation in which these hardy
fishermen are engaged is thus one of
much greater peril than one would at
first imagine.-Cor. San Francisco
Call.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

HE OtCtCtCftSt \NfA'O . ~y
of February 2Sd, 1883, pub
hshed an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, Or. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described rs q
faint sail gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed q
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebOdings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain In the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an opes;uoa was justifi-
able. Accop.inciy, on the 22d
of February, 1865, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in tle presence of DR..
Tuckermsn, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, Dr.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell OF the Police
Board. The operation consist.
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of TIE o,5ans was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the Go-tors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have q cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad It
must be Tor the husband OF tbs
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous ProStration flor
this was what the disease really
wasJ, she would have been iv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RoOTS, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Drsre)Sia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases Is too vo'mnous to be
published here; but those who
read the Published evidence in
favor Of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
